Wanda opened her blue eyes behind her veil. She raised her hand and removed the veil of her face.
Since her powers are intricately connected with Cthulhu mythos, she also shares some of their characteristics. If she doesn't control her powers we'll the mere sight of her could plunge someone into madness.
The holographic projection turned off after Wanda opened her eyes.
"This is the second time I'm seeing blue aliens", Pietro said, " Last time i saw aliens, professor X blasted them with nukes ".
Ignoring Pietro's remarks, Wanda glanced at Melanie, " What do you think? Did they make the right choice "?.
Melanie thought for a second before answering, " In my opinion they made the right choice ".
Wanda raised her brow, " Elaborate "
"My lady, as that man said eventually their sun will burn out and by that time if the na'vi are still hunter gatherer they would have been doomed".
"But if they offer their eternal worship to you my lady, the light of their race will truly never extinguish"
"But I think they made the wrong choice", Pietro interjected.
Wanda tilted her head and stared at Pietro with questioning look.
Pietro scratched his head awkwardly, " Well in my opinion a civilization should progress, if it's eternally stagnant it will start to rot"
"Doing the same thing everyday, living the same way for millenniums, their minds will eventually break,soon they will engage in apocalyptic hedonism"
Wanda smiled, "I didn't know you were so insightful"
Pietro crossed his arms and huffed, "I may not look like it but I'm actually quite smart" Pietro boasted.
!!!
Before Wanda could continue her banter with Pietro she felt her heart pulsate, nausea overwhelmed her senses. She quickly conjued a paper bag.
"Blerhh!"
Wanda shoved her face in the bag and started vomiting strange black substance.
"Wanda"!!
" My lady "!!
Surprised, Pietro and Melanie quickly came besides Wanda.
"My lady, what happened"?
After Wanda stopped retching, she stood up and threw the paper bag in a portal.
" I'm alright, you two stay here ". Her image flickered and disappeared from the spot.
Few minutes later, Wanda returned, few droplets of water still clinging on her jade white face.
" Wanda, is everything alright "? Pietro asked in a concerned voice.
" I'm fine ", Wanda suspected that the reason she suddenly vomited might be sequela of consuming the mindless outergods.
"No need to worry about me", Wanda said nonchalantly and opened a portal.
" This"? Pietro said puzzled.
"Let's take a small vacation, this will also broaden Melanie's horizon".
Pietro instantly became excited, he loved traveling.
Melanie also had some curiosity in her heart.
Without talking further nonsense the three entered the portal
New York City. In a dark alley, a red portal appeared.
As soon as they stepped out a foul smell hit their nose.
With varied expressions they began walking toward the alley's exit.
As soon as they exited they saw a hellish scene.
The once-bustling street was now littered with severed limbs and mangled bodies. Blood covered the ground, flowing into the sewers through the grates.
On the sidewalk, a few decapitated heads stared lifelessly in their direction, their bodies torn apart and stripped to bare bones, as if mauled by wild beasts.
"This seems like a gore lovers paradise", in her past life when she was still a man, he lurked on shock sites and saw all kinds of things like flaying, torture, necrophilia just to name a few.
She still cringes when she recalled the unhinged comments on those sites.
Looking up at the overcast sky, wanda realized that the disaster had been ongoing.
Pink lightning crackled across the New York sky as zombie sentinels descended with overwhelming force, infecting most of the Avengers who had rushed to confront them.
As Wanda and co were busy observing this apocalyptic sight , they heard footsteps approaching from behind.
They saw a grotesque zombie slowly making its way toward them.
The zombie was a man dressed in a large mascot costume,he likely got infected because his cumbersome costume.
His left ankle was completely devoid of any flesh, leaving only a bone to support him, limiting him movement to a slow, shuffling gait as he made his way toward them.
"...Meat… Fresh meat"
"What!! It can talk"? Pietro remembers watching zombie movies, in those movies they are mindless brain eaters, so when he saw a talking zombie, he became surprised.
Unlike most zombie outbreaks she'd seen in movies in her past life, marvel plague was far stranger. Those infected still retained their memories and personalities to some extent—and they could even talk.
Wanda raised her right hand and pointed her index finger towards the zombies direction.
Just as the zombie mascot was about to reach them, a strange black smoke erupted from his body. The sound of burning followed as his body convulsed and then collapsed helplessly to the ground.
The zombie's body quickly disintegrated into ashes, erasing the last remnants of his existence.
"Well, this world looks interesting," Melanie was truly intrigued,it was her first time coming to another world.
"What should we do next, my lady"
After hearing Melanie's question, Wanda pondered for a moment.
"Let's meet up with the survivors first, we can spread my faith later".

Beyond Earth.
On an asteroid in outer space, the leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants, Magneto, clutched his head in anguish.
"My God… What have I done…"
In his pursuit of strengthening mutants, Magneto had mirrored humanity by initiating a bio war. Previously, humans had developed a virus specifically targeting mutant genes, causing devastating losses to the mutant population.
To retaliate, Magneto had invested enormous resources to create a virus targeting human genetics, which was then released.
What he hadn't anticipated was that the virus would mutate into a zombie plague, evolving at a terrifying rate. Now, even mutants were being infected and turned into zombies.
"Open the teleportation tunnel. I'm going to Earth," Magneto said, striding out of his office.
"No, sir! It's too dangerous! Earth has already fallen,even the Avengers have...."
"Silence!" Magneto shouted.
"This is my responsibility. There are still many mutants on Earth, including the X-Men. I won't abandon my kin to this hopeless planet!"
